Another day in London St.Patrick Day Parade and Celebrations:

Always great visiting London, especially when the weather is so great. In fact although it was sunny we had to stop and dress up as the wind was bitterly cold.









Salvadore Dali statues along the river. Just love them but never been into the exhibition.













London tourist Shot. To cover their liability against people who can' t be accountable for their own actions when they stand too close and annoy the horses.

The sign next to the Guards House now says, keep back these horses may kick and bite....and so they should, all tourists who think it cool to stand to close to the horses for photos whilst trying to make the guards smile.








Another typical Tourist shot.

Big Ben?
I can hear it but can't see it.

Trafalgar Square fountains Green water today.

The town Cryer calls out at the beginning of the Parade.

There were hundreds of bands.

Irish Mythology represented in many colourful displays.
